Abstract
Unilesional (solitary) mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare variant characterized clinically by the presence of a single contiguous area of skin involvement covering less than 5% of the body surface and histopathologically by features identical to those seen in classical MF. Angiocentricity (angiodestruction) is mostly a feature of primary or secondary cutaneous lymphomas with an aggressive course and poor outcome, with only very few reports of MF with angiocentric pattern.
The authors report an unusual case of solitary patch-stage MF with hemorrhagic features, characterized histologically by epidermotropic and angiocentric (angiodestructive) infiltrate and a reactive B-cell component appearing as lymphoid follicles.
